Dear Steve, Lori, Kim, Gail, Lisa & Families,
We know that no words can help ease the pain and loss that you are feeling right now. You are in our every prayer and thought. It has been almost a year since my dad had passed away. I hope you find comfort in your family and your love for one another. I hope your faith will see all of you though.
The Bible conveys a message that death is not the end of life; it is only the body that perishes, the spirit can never die ... it continues to live. We hope this thought will bring much comfort during this time of sorrow. We know your hearts weep for the loss of your dad. This is not the end, but a new beginning of the journey with God, your mother, his parents, other family and friends. Nonetheless, when grief over death, strikes us, it becomes difficult to be able to think rationally. God will definitely show you the way to smiling again. We know this experience will change you forever. Just remember all the good times you shared with your father and all the love he gave you throughout the years. It's the little things, the small, everyday occurrences that you'll remember. The laughs, the stories, the smiles, the family gatherings. And even though it seems like you can never recover from your loss, it is these very memories that will help push the pain away and bring back the smiles. He is not gone. He will live in your heart forever. We send you our love, thoughts and prayers. Your Cousin, Kathy and family; Al, Jason, Kim, Clayton, Anabella, Adam, Blake & Ashley.
